I was sitting in a café. I often go there for a drink after work. I called the waiter. I know him quite well. I asked for a cup of coffee. While I was waiting I looked at a newspaper. It was lying on the table. I started reading an article on the front page. It said: ‘Police are looking for a woman, Catherine. She has been missing from her home for two weeks.’ I looked at the photo. It showed a woman with dark curly hair, she had a round face. I recognized it at once. She was my new neighbor. She had moved in just 2 weeks before.

MANDI’S MAKING FRIENDS

My name’s Mandi. Three months ago, I went to disco where I met a boy called Tom. I guessed he was older than me, but I liked him and thought it didn’t matter. We danced a couple of times, then we chatted. He said he was 18, then asked how old I was. I told him I was 16. I thought that if I told him my real age, he wouldn’t want to know me, as I’m only 13.

After the dicso we arranged to meet the following weekend. The next Saturday we went for a burger and had a real laugh. Afterwards he walked me to my street and kissed me goodnight. Things went really well. We see each other a couple of times a week, but I’ve had to lie to my parents about where I’m going and who with. I’ve always got on with them, but I know if they found out how Tom was they’d stop me seeing him.

Now I really don’t know what to do. I can’t go on lying to my parents every time I go out, and Ton keeps asking he can’t come around to my house. I’m really worried and I need some advice.

Question: Which of these answers did Mandi receive?

A. Tell me what you really feel.

B. You must start by being honest with everyone.

C. Everyone’s unfair to you.

D. Don’t worry. I’m sure Tom will change his mind
